    Pepsi India betting big on digitisation for growth; to connect 10 million retailers

    Food and beverages major PepsiCo India is betting on digitisation as a big growth opportunity and is looking at using technology in both backward and forward integration. According to a report: The maker of Lay’s, Kurkure and many a cola brand, including Pepsi, said it is working on a project to digitally connect about 10 million retailers along with about 600 million consumers, with the supplier.

    Ahmed El Sheikh, President and Chief Executive Officer, PepsiCo India, said that the company has just finalised a project which is digitising the total supply chain within PepsiCo India, end-to-end.

    “We are working on another project to digitise our connection with farmers. We are talking about thousands of farmers where we want to be connected with the crops in the field, getting certain parameters measured and taking corrective action against it through digital solutions.

    “We are using digital in backward integration of supply chain network,” he said.

    Sheikh said the company is making technology as the cornerstone and building the business around it.

    “We are looking at how technology is going to reshape India and I think this is one of the key enablers to unleash the potential of our business in the country,” he said.

    The company, which reported profit in 2017-18, after a gap of seven years, is bullish on the prospects in the country and is rolling out the first river shipment of its snack portfolio from Kolkata to Varanasi.

    “We are going to start the first river shipment this month, from Kolkata to Varanasi. This is based on GST, which we are leveraging. We are starting a pilot with the Government.

    “It is the first containerised movement on inland waterway on river Ganga,” he said.

    Sheikh, PepsiCo India’s first expat president, further said the company, which has been in the country since 1989, isseeing healthy growth coming out of India, which is well balanced between food and beverage, while the nutrition segment comprising Quaker Oats and Tropicana, is growing faster albeit on a lower base.

    “We need to be positive growth driver for PepsiCo, but that growth needs to be sustainable and responsible,” he said.

    He added that the water and juice segment outgrows the soft drink segment in India, and the company is counting on being glocal to succeed in the food segment.

  • Profits down at Vietnam’s largest brewer

    Profits down at Vietnam’s largest brewer

    Beer maker Sabeco has reported after tax profits of $149 million in Jan-Sept 2018, down 6 percent year-on-year. The company’s total revenue in the first nine months of the year was VND25.5 trillion ($1.1 billion), 70 percent of its annual target.

    According to the company’s third quarter financial report Sabeco, formally known as Saigon Beer Alcohol Beverage Corp, beer continued to dominate its revenue structure, netting over 85 percent of total income. The remaining revenue came from packaging, other beverages and spirits.

    Sabeco recently unveiled a restructuring plan to improve profit margins by 3-4 percentage points over the next few years.

    The company plans to adjust its business operations in five key segments: manufacturing, distribution, marketing, supply chain and storage. This plan involves the leading beer maker in Vietnam considering acquiring minority stakes in beer factories and distribution units.

    The company’s management board has also announced that one of its top priorities is to develop a better distribution system in major cities, especially in HCM City. Through this, Sabeco hopes to regain market share in urban areas currently dominated by Heineken.

    According to the Ho Chi Minh City Securities Corporation, Sabeco occupies approximately 42.8 percent of the domestic beer market. Due to increasing competition from multinational companies, this figure is down slightly from 43.6 percent in the previous year. As a result, consumption growth of Sabeco’s beer was less than the industry average, totalling 1.85 billion litres.

    The corporation estimates that by the end of 2019, Sabeco’s beer market share will increase slightly to 43 percent thanks to its marketing efforts and the launch of new products. Consumption of Sabeco-made beer is also expected to increase to 1.95 billion liters.

    Thai Beverage PCL (ThaiBev) is currently the dominant shareholder in Sabeco, which sells popular beer brands kike Saigon Beer and 333.

  • Dunkin’ to be seen as coffee place in future

    Dunkin’ to be seen as coffee place in future

    Global fast-food chain Dunkin’ plans to reposition itself as a coffee chain – but it will still sell fresh donuts. Just a month after Dunkin’ Donuts unveiled rebranding, including dropping ‘Donuts’ from its name, the company has announced a strategy to put quality coffee at the core of its menu

    Dunkin’ has previously revealed a US$100 million budget to revive its market position in its core US home market. Now it says half of that investment will be spent on espresso machines and other restaurant equipment enabling it to accelerate its beverage-led strategy. The company says Dunkin’ franchisees are also making a substantial investment in the initiative, which is focused on growing its market share of the hot and iced espresso category.

    “Espresso is one of the fastest-growing coffee categories, particularly among younger consumers, and with our coffee credentials we believe we have a tremendous opportunity to improve our awareness and credibility among espresso drinkers,” said Tony Weisman, chief marketing officer at Dunkin’ US.

    The company is promising “an entirely new espresso experience for customers” in its US restaurants by the coming holiday season, featuring new state-of-the-art espresso equipment, a new espresso recipe, extensive restaurant training and new espresso cups.  Dunkin’ will serve “handcrafted hot and iced espresso beverages” – including lattes and cappuccinos – “featuring a rich, smooth, balanced taste that meets the profile preferred by espresso customers, and in particular younger espresso drinkers,” the company said in a statement.

    Dunkin’ will support the launch with a comprehensive marketing campaign. New espresso cups are bright orange and feature an exclamation point, a symbol the company says positions the espresso beverages as bold, new and exciting.

    “Relaunching espresso in our restaurants nationwide has been a tremendous undertaking, from installation of the new espresso machines, to the creation of the new, bolder taste profile, to the extensive employee training,” said Dunkin’ US COO Scott Murphy. “This is a transformative initiative, and it would never have happened without the total alignment and support of our franchisees.”

    All espresso beverages served at Dunkin’ US restaurants will continue to be made with 100-per-cent espresso beans sourced from Rainforest Alliance-certified farms.

    Nestle Malaysia earnings up 15.7% in Q3, declares 70 sen dividend

    Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd’s net profit for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018 rose 15.7% to RM137.69 million from RM119.01 million a year ago, underpinned by higher sales on the back of strong marketing and promotional activities.

    Revenue for the quarter under review increased 8.3% to RM1.43 billion from RM1.32 billion in the same quarter last year, driven by stronger domestic and export sales as well as the zero-rating of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which boosted consumer spending.

    Nestle has proposed to declare an interim dividend of 70 sen per share for the quarter under review.

    For the cumulative period of nine months, the group’s net profit grew 4.7% to RM535.06 million from RM511.14 million, while revenue expanded 4.8% to RM4.17 billion from RM3.98 billion.

    “Against the backdrop of a more encouraging year for the Malaysian economy, we remain committed to our long-term strategy to ‘Fuel the Growth’ via our innovative drive and enhancing our strong brand portfolio,” Nestle said on its prospects.

    “We are confident that our investments, including the new Nestlé distribution centre, will enable us to maintain our solid growth momentum. In line with this commitment, the group has recently announced the RM100 million investment in Milo manufacturing making the Chembong factory the largest Milo manufacturing centre of excellence in the world. The company strives to improve efficiencies across our supply chain and reinvest savings to achieve sustainable and profitable growth,” it added.

    Nestle’s shares dipped RM1.50 or 1% to close at RM143.50 on 111,600 shares traded.

    Meat lovers can also enjoy classic skewers such as Minced Chicken (HK$48), Angus Beef Short Rib (HK$66), and a selection of seafood highlighting MOKUTAN Threadfin (HK$168), Water Eel (HK$68) and Yellowtail Joint (HK$138), while vegetarians have a vast menu of seasonal vegetable skewers to choose from.

    Complementing the yakitori experience, diners may choose to pair their meals with premium sake such as Daina, Born and Dassai; while luscious plum wine from Dewatsuru Kimoto Junmai make a perfect aperitif.

    “The simplicity in which yakitori is presented masks the technique and skill that goes into the dish,” shares Benson Ling, co-owner of MOKUTAN and brainchild of trendy sushi roll concept – Chottomaki.  “At MOKUTAN, we are delighted to bring a genuine Yakitori experience in a relaxing and intimate setting.”

    Yonghui, Parknshop and Tencent to jointly establish JV

    Tencent has teamed up with ParknShop and Yonghui Superstores to create a new combined grocery chain ParknShop Yonghui. The joint venture, valued at US$170 million, aims to help Shanghai-listed Yonghui expand its business outside of the southern province of Guangdong, as well as consolidating Yonghui and ParknShop’s businesses in the province.

    Yonghui gains half of the joint venture with $89.6 million while ParknShop will hold a 40 per cent stake with cash and equity contributions amounting to $72 million, and Tencent will pay $18 million yuan for a 10 per cent stake.

  • New product helps Vietnam’s canned coffee market

    New product helps Vietnam’s canned coffee market

    One of the largest beverage makers in the world is hoping to ‘capture’ Vietnamese taste with its new canned coffee product. Coca-Cola, one of the two biggest players in the Vietnamese carbonated beverages market, has entered the canned coffee market with Georgia Coffee Max.

    Though Vietnam is the second largest exporter of coffee in the world, its ready-to-drink coffee market has not attracted much attention from major players.

    Coca-Cola’s move could breathe life into it, but the challenge is not a small one, industry insiders said.

    For instance, at a supermarket on Quan Hoa Street in Hanoi’s Cau Giay District, canned coffee products do not have their own section, but are placed among other carbonated and energy drinks.

    Four brands of this rarely-seen product — Birdy, Nescafe, Highlands Coffee, and My Café — sit inconspicuously among dozens of other beverages.

    According to the shop assistants, canned coffee is hardly purchased, and sometimes is not bought for weeks at a time.

    The market for canned coffee came to existence 10 years ago with the entry of Birdy Coffee from Japan’s Ajinomoto.

    A year later Nestlé, which wanted a piece of the action, established a canned coffee production line at its plant in the southern Dong Nai Province.

    Other early birds included local dairy giant Vinamilk, which started putting up ready-to-drink coffee production facilities, followed by two then-emerging brands, Tan Hiep Phat and Highlands.

    Though initially many of the brands ran aggressive marketing campaigns, the market gradually fizzled out. Many products disappeared completely within a short time.

    In 2013 local coffee giant Trung Nguyen launched a range of fresh coffee products in bottles and cartons in sizes ranging from 500 ml to a liter. Within two years these too disappeared from grocery store and supermarket shelves.

    Today only a few names are left in the market, like PepsiCo, Highlands Coffee, Nestlé, Ajinomoto, and the new entrant, Coca-Cola.

    The real challenge for producers is no longer getting market share but changing consumer habits.

    Industry insiders quoted customer feedback as saying canned coffee is like fast food, sweet and lacking the authentic coffee taste.

    Speaking at the launch of the new product, a Coca-cola executive said though there are other brands in the market, their research showed the pie is large enough for new players to enter.

    Le Trung Tin, director of the Georgia Coffee Max line, said the secret to success is capturing the Vietnamese taste in the canned coffee.
